I don\u2019t enjoy driving 160 miles to and from the Veterans Affairs medical care in Aurora at 80 mph.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I got the OK from the VA to contact community care. They had me contact Tri West, then a local doctor. That\u2019s four bureaucracies. This took months. Meanwhile, I\u2019m going blind.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The difference between Liddick and me, Republicans and Democrats, is our mindset. Republicans like the status quo. Why rock the boat when you\u2019re doing just fine, thank you. Democrats say, \u201cThere\u2019s got to be a better way. People are suffering.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>People of low consciousness (in both parties) put their egos first. Dr. David Hawkins \u2014 author of \u201cPower vs Force,\u201d \u201cThe Eye of the I\u201d and \u201cI: Reality and Subjectivity\u201d \u2014 thought the ego to be the primary blockage to higher consciousness and enlightenment. (We seem to have proof of that in the White House.)<\/p>\n<p>There are Republicans and Democrats, who won\u2019t take responsibility and economize. They\u2019ll build empires.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Why doesn\u2019t a university or nonprofit or even a for-profit company develop a program that eliminates the gobbledygook, duplication and waste. The result? A care system that is efficient, inexpensive and universal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.summitdaily.com\/opinion\/letter-to-the-editor-why-cant-someone-find-a-way-to-fix-the-health-care-system\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Summit Daily<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Morgan Liddick is absolutely correct. \u201cFree\u201d medical care could be a mess.
